Good morning,

While try to use the wiki these days I run into several issues.

As far as I understand the en.o.o is about to go away. So I need to add new stuff

to wiki.o.o, right ?

My problem starts that I don't find my pages anymore. I still need en.o.o just

to find the pages, because I don't find anything usefull via the wiki.o.o search

due to the new layout.

Try to search for "Build Service" or "Build Service Concepts". Both works great in

en.o.o wiki, but wiki.o.o search does not deliver a single entry which makes sense to me

due to the new layout.

Another problem is that the Concept page works via category lists now.

This is less ovious to use and frankly, I consider that these were pages which I and other

wiki novice users do maintain. This does increase the hurdle for us to add/modify concept

pages.

Frankly, I stopped working on the wiki pages since wiki.o.o exists, since I lost completly

the overview what is going on. But since the wiki is our main documentation point this is no

longer a solution for us.

I need also to know which links will break when wiki.o.o will become the default one.

Will en.o.o go away ? Will wiki.o.o get moved ?

If something like this happens will break all our links in our OBS products.

Please tell if you think we missuse wiki/en.opensuse.org for OBS (actually we plan to

add way better integrated help links, which is currently blocked by the unknown state of

the wiki). In that case we need to setup our own wiki, where we can rely on. But that

would be a not wanted extra effort for us.

thanks

PS: sorry if I sound a bit negative, but it really blocks OBS release atm.

PPS: The new pages in wiki.o.o look really much better then the old ones. So what

about just move these pages to en.o.o ?

This would keep the search working and in case you still want to rename a page,

you can use the "move" functionality, so we avoid broken links.
